Do You Know Me?

You don't know me
You think you do,
But you really don't.
You want me
To do things
That I don't want to do
And you always have to say
"If I had my own way.."

Well I have
My own way
Of doing things,
But that, right here,
You don't see.
I've held my tongue
All my life
Trying to hold back
So I don't start fights
But I'm slipping up
All because
You don't seem to listen.

Can you not see
What I'm telling you?
Look past the smiles
You'll see the tears
I try to hide.
You really don't know me
Like you think you do.

I have my way
Of doing things
But that, right here,
You don't see.
I've held my tongue
All my life
Trying to hold back
So I don't start fights
But I'm slipping up
All because
You don't seem to listen

Oh, you don't seem to listen
Because you only hear
What you want to hear
But you don't hear
All the tears I hide
Behind all the words.

I have my way
Of doing things
But that, right here,
You don't see.
I've held my tongue
All my life
Trying to hold back
So I don't start fights
But I'm slipping up up
All because
You don't seem to listen

The way things
Are going
I'm telling you now
As soon as I can
I am leaving.
There's nothing now
That you can do
To stop me
So don't even try
I am saying Good Bye
And I know I'll have a nice life

Because I have my way
Of doing things
But that, right here,
You don't see.
I've held my tongue
All my life
Trying to hold back
So I don't start fights
But I'm slipping up
All because
You don't seem to listen

You don't know me
Like you thought you did
Because you would have known
This wouldn't have been
A surprise for you.
I'm sorry now,
But it's too late
You should have just tried
You should have listened.
